IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Note on monitor placement
• The setup location must not be extremely hot,
cold, humid or dusty. Heat and cold can impair
the functionality of the monitor. Humidity and
dust can cause the monitor to fail.
• Do not place the monitor near heat sources
such as heaters or radiators. Do not expose
the monitor to mechanical vibrations or jarring.
Notes on power connection
Only use the power cord designated for use in
your country.
The wall outlet should be within easy reach.
Pulling the power plug is the only way to dis-
connect the monitor from the power source.
This monitor is ENERGY STAR®-compatible.
MAXDATA is an ENERGY STAR®- partner and
guarantees that this monitor complies with the
ENERGY STAR® guidelines for optimising
power consumption.
Safety instructions for operation
The power cord must not be damaged. Do not
place any objects on the power cord and make
sure it does not have any knots. To unplug the
cord, always pull on the plug and not on the ca-
ble itself. Damage to the power cord may re-
sult in fire or cause electric shocks.
• Avoid covering the ventilation slots. Air circula-
tion is necessary to prevent the monitor from
overheating. If the air circulation is restricted, it
could cause fire or damage the monitor.
• Do not use any solvents to clean the monitor,
as the housing could be damaged. For more in-
formation about cleaning the monitor see sec-
tion “Caring for your monitor” on page 7.
Make sure that no humidity or liquids can enter
the monitor.
Never open the monitor housing yourself.
There is a danger of electric shocks and other
hazards. The monitor may only be opened and
services by qualified professionals.

accessory). For mounting remove the screws from
the back of the monitor (4 screws). Use a VESA com-
patible support (4-hole assembly of 100 x 100 mm ac-
cording the international VESA FDMI standard) and
follow the corresponding instructions.
CONNECTION

ERGONOMICS
The best alignment
Align the monitor in such a way, that distance and an-
gle correspond to the figure.
The best height
To adjust the height of the monitor, push the
lock on the back of the base sideward. Make
sure that the monitor stands firmly on the
base, when pushing the lock.
Ergonomically, your posture is best when elbows, pel-
vis, knees and ankles are all at right angles.
Furthermore, you should regularly focus on an object
around 6 m away from you to help your eyes relax.
Putting the monitor in upright position
If needed, you can turn the monitor so that the screen
is in an upright position (Pivot function). Use the soft-
ware settings to adapt the picture accordingly.
Non-reflecting operation
Adjust the monitor so that there are no reflections on
the screen. By this you protect your eyes from exces-
sive strain.
This monitor meets the requirements for non-reflec-
tion. This makes it suitable for normal office applica-
tions and you do not need to take any special
additional measures.
CONFIGURATION
